North Carolina 1099 employee with no benefits, literally no idea where to start

Hello all!

I don’t have health insurance currently and open enrollment is tomorrow and I have no idea what I should be looking for or how to get the best plan as a 1099. My job is 100% commission based. So far this year I have made about $20,000 in ~4 months. I can get my exact income to date if needed. I don’t know how to factor this into what plans I am eligible for, what I should be looking for, how much information I should share or not share to get the best plan possible. I don’t have any preexisting health issues except, ADHD, mild depression/anxiety, and occasional migraines. I am not on any medication. I am definitely open to using tools to see what’s available but anything I should look out for? Are certain providers better than others or does it really just come down to the plan? Ideally I can afford ~$100 or less a month premium. Thank you for any help or insight you can provide! Cheers!

Edit: feel free to link any other posts that could help me out. I searched but couldn’t find anything directly applicable but maybe I just don’t know enough to know what to search.
